THE CATHEDRAL BUILDER The Dedicatory Service of our new Cathedral is the fruition of the hopes and aspirations of clergy and laity during the past seventy 'five years. In those days our people were poor in material things and they could scarcely foresee the prosperity that would come to our beloved America and to their children. Our priests were few, poor and overwhelmed with the manifold duties incidental not only to keeping alive the spark of faith in their people, but also the urgent necessity of providing churches, schools and institutions. Our Diocesan History reveals the fact that quite frequently when a pastor had completed his material labors, death claimed him, and another enjoyed the fruits of his priestly endeavors for God and for His Church. The Catholic Church throughout the ages has been the Mother of the Arts and Sciences. Many of the greatest achievements in music, poetry, painting, architecture, literature and sculpture have received their in' spiration from, and their exemplification in, the great Cathedrals and Churches of the past. Genius is never satisfied with the mere ability to create, but craves and demands the opportunity, and a field, for the exhibition of its talents. We today are heirs to a wonderful past. We have received a rich inheritance from those who have gone before us. It is therefore fitting and proper that we should call on this rich treasury of things artistic, which is the tradition of the Catholic Church. Today we would not discharge our obligations to our Catholic people by merely housing our activities, for the time has come, here and now, for us to embellish not only the temples of God, but the institutions of educa' tion, culture and charity. Our new Cathedral represents our effort to build a temple worthy of Christ, our King, and fit to emulate the beautiful structures fostered and sponsored by the great Commonwealth of Illinois. The style of Architecture is new for the Catholic Church, but the following reasons determined the style for us : Abraham Lincoln, the Court House, early American mansions and civic buildings, and a desire to make every dollar donated by priests and people show and go the full length of each one hundred cents. The material for the building was our first problem as many kinds of marble and stone were considered. ^ It was a happy thought that led us to journey to Minnesota and finally make our selection. The choice has met with universal approbation, and according to chemical reports from various Universities, it will weather the heat and cold and the storms of the ages. We desire to stress not merely the individual appointments of the interior, but of the composite whole — the building in its entirety — the ever varying contrasts — the outstanding emphasis placed on the center of all our devotions — the High Altar, throne of Our Eucharistic King. The tympanum over the portico as you enter the church represents the Coat of Arms of the Bishop in carved stone. On the left in carved stone is a consecration service memorializing our consecration as Bishop in Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, Illinois, on February 24, 1924. The Coat of Arms of the Holy Father panelled over the Sacred Heart altar, the Great Seal of the United States of America on the south end of the west ambulatory, the Coat of Arms of the Bishop depicted over Saint Joseph's altar, and finally the State Seal of Illinois on the west end of the north ambulatory, recognizes the Spiritual and the Civil authorities. This recognition proclaims the fact that in our beloved America, Church and Country travel along parallel lines, ever more onward and upward. May this happy condition be the inheritance of our children as it has been the inspiration of the past and the joy of the present. On the right is represented our enthronement in Springfield which took place three days after our consecration. It represents the Archbishop of Chicago leading the new Bishop of Springfield to his throne. It also represents the Officers who took part in that service. This two-fold representation has, as far as we know, never been featured in carved stone in any Cathedral in America. In the windows, the selection of our artist and the selection of sub' jects, represent an effort to recognize American prowess in Artglass pro- duction, and to memorialize Catholic factors in the discovery, exploration and development of our Republic. As far as we know this represents a pioneer effort. In acknowledgement of our indebtedness to the pioneer priests, and especially of the valuable contribution of the late Monsignor Timothy Hickey, permission has been secured from both ecclesiastical and civil authorities, to inter his remains in one of the crypts in the Sanctuary of our New Cathedral. Surely the people of Springfield, no matter what their 8 race, color or creed, will acknowledge the happy thought crystalized in this move. The Dedication of the new Cathedral is the fruition of four active and very happy years in the City and Diocese of Springfield. The work has been cast on a large scale, and we leave to the present and future generations the privilege of evaluating the results. This short period of time, with its achievements, is to be credited to the vision, devotion and zeal of the clergy, as well as to the strong faith and generous impulses on the part of the laity. Whatever merit might be given to me I would ask in a very special way that my remains might rest in your midst in peace in front of the High Altar in presence of the Blessed Sacrament and might evoke an occasional prayer for me and for those of my co-workers who have spent themselves for God's honor and the Glory of His Church. We have tried to make the temple beautiful, and we pray that you will leave the tomb simple and unadorned. JAMES A. GRIFFIN Bishop of Springfield in Illinois. SECTION I A LEAF STOLEN FROM BISHOP GRIFFIN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE HISTORY JUST PUBLISHED We feel this Souvenir Book would be incomplete without a page from a very valuable book just published by Right Reverend James A. Griffin, D. D., the Diamond Jubilee History of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. Therefore, we have taken the liberty to steal a page out of that History and we here insert that page. The stolen page is from the Chapter entitled: "Pen Picture of Bishop Griffin." In that Chapter there appears a Sub-Head called: "Bishop Griffin's Crowning Work." Well, here goes the stolen page: Kind reader please recall the words quoted by me at the beginning of this sketch. It was to this effect: One of the Bishop's Assistants in St. Mary's Church, Joliet, 111. Rev. E. O. Leiser, while conversing with us at the breakfast table in St. Mary's Rectory said: "Mark what I tell you. Your Bishop will not jump into the work of building a new Cathedral for two or three years at least. I know him and I understand his methods. He will first look after the material, moral, in* tellectual and spiritual welfare of his diocese both as a whole and in partic- ular parts." I have oft since then reflected on Father Leiser 's words as I gazed in admiration on the unfolding of our Bishop's plans. We watched him tour the diocese from end to end, from center to circumference. We saw him advising, counselling, and correcting; we beheld him laboring for the welfare of the fatherless, homeless waifs; we saw him providing care, com- fort and consolation for the aged poor; we saw him making provisions for the greater care of the sick; we saw him building up grade and high schools so that the youth of his diocese might have the best in the land ; we heard him champion a strong Catholic Press and ring out his eloquent words in denunciation of an evil press; we saw him build churches, schools and halls, like so many fortresses all over his diocese in defense of God, home and country; we saw him industriously providing for the comfort, joy and pleasure of the Boy Scouts; we saw him make provisions for those un- 10 fortunate children who are deprived of the blessings of a Catholic educa- tion; we saw him organise Social Workers who would go out into the high' ways and by-ways of his diocese and furnish aid, comfort and consolation to the poor, the unfortunate — the down-and-outs. Finally we saw him lead a pilgrimage of his clergy and laity to Rome, to the Vatican, to the feet of Christ's Vicar and there tie — yes, knot the heart-strings of his diocese with the heart-strings of Christ's Vicar. What will be his next work? In the first Book of Maccabees we read that after Judas Maccabees, leader of God's people, and his valiant men had defeated the enemies of God and of his country, he said to his followers: "Behold our enemies are discomfited; let us go up now to cleanse the holy places and to repair them. And all the army assembled together and they went up onto the Mount of Sion, and they built up the holy places and the things that were within the temple and they sanctified the temple. And they made new holy vessels and brought in the candlesticks and the altar of incense and the table into the temple, and they put incense upon the altar and lighted up the lamps that were upon the candlesticks and they gave light in the temple, and they offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of the holo- causts which they had made. And all the people fell upon their faces and adored and blessed up to heaven him that had prepared them. And there was exceeding great joy among the people." Here we have a splendid illustration of what Bishop Griffin did. He first toured his diocese, counselled and strengthened his people, laid bare the tactics of the enemy; took care of the material, moral, intellectual and spiritual needs of his people; drew them closer and nearer to the Sacred Heart; built up schools, churches and institutions; dotted his diocese with so many spiritual fortresses in defense of God, home and country. Then, and then only, did he say to his clergy and laity : Let- us go up now to our Episcopal City and there build the head fortress of our diocese, the Mother Church of all our churches and people, a Memorial to our Immaculate Mother, a testimonial to the pioneer priests and laity of our diocese, a Home worthy of our Eucharistic King. This Bishop Griffin did. He gathered round him some of his own priests, drew up plans for his Diamond Jubilee Cathedral Campaign. He did not call in outside or professional campaigners. He, himself, was the soul, the inspiration of that Campaign and aided by leaders among the clergy and laity that campaign was the joy of the whole diocese and the admiration of the entire country. Bishop Griffin himself spoke at campaign meetings in all Deanery centers in the diocese, and wherever he appeared, or spoke, the electricity 11 of his personality and the fire of his words aroused unbounded enthusiasm. Pastors and people, men and women, young and old, caught the spirit. The campaign fire swept the diocese from center to circumference with the result that whereas the Bishop asked for only $750,000.00, the amount donated or pledged went mighty near the million dollar mark. The priests led in the enthusiastic campaign — marched to the tune of a hundred thousand dollars for their Bishop, and they did it spontaneously. The laity followed and kept step with admirable precision. It was simply glorious to behold. The Campaign opened on February 14, 1927, with the Bishop's slogan in every heart and on every tongue : "It is God's work. God wills it, ,, and closed amid a blaze of glory on February 26th with everybody saying — "We have gone over the top." That Campaign elicited the admiration of men and women, princes of the Church and officers of State everywhere. The writer never saw such enthusiasm or such wonderful co-operation, or such whole-hearted team work among the rank and file, clergy and laity. A non-Catholic newspaper man in the See City of Springfield, Campaign Headquarters, remarked to the writer: "Bishop Griffin is to be congratulated on his Campaign, not only because of its transcedent success, but even more so on the high class manner in which it has been handled. No cheap or small tactics in your Bishop's program — It is magnificent." The words of this non-Catholic gentleman expressed the thoughts of every fair-minded non-Catholic in Springfield and throughout the entire diocese. What we have written is simply sufficient to establish the fact that Bishop Griffin is a providential man — a man ordained of God — a priest selected and consecrated by the Holy Ghost to rule this portion of the Lord's Vineyard in an Apostolic manner — in a manner that has gripped the hearts of his clergy and laity — in a manner which has challenged the admiration of the American Hierarchy and of the American Nation. His Apostolic labors and his well balanced bearing are a joy to our Church and to our Republic. His religious and patriotic leadership is an inspiration to the nation at large. There he stands — a man, a citizen, a priest and a Bishop, of whom we all feel proud ! Look at him ! Now you, and we, under- stand why the Pope of Rome sceptered him with a crozier; why the Presi- ident of our Republic has commissioned him a Major in the United States Army, and why the Governor of our great commonwealth, the State of Illinois, has appointed him a member of the State Welfare Commission. Bishop Griffin, as a man, as a citizen, as a Churchman and as a patriot, we are proud of you and we gladly, gratefully, triumphantly point to your 12 Cathedral Group and say to the world: Behold our Bishop's crowning work ! He came to us on February 28, 1924, something over four years ago. In those four years he has changed the face of our diocese. He has provided for the Charitable, Educational, Moral and Spiritual welfare of his subjects. Only after having done so did he think about his new Cathedral. He opened the Campaign for funds February 14, 1927. He laid the Corner Stone on August 14, 1927. Solemnly dedicated it amid a blaze of glory on October 14, 1928. What a record ! Behold Bishop Griffin's crowning work ! May God bless that Crown! May God bless our Bishop! M. J. FOLEY THE OLD CATHEDRAL AND THE NEW THE OLD CATHEDRAL located at Alton, a gem of pure Gothic architecture, its native limestone whitened by the sun, seated on the picturesque bluffs of Alton, how attractive, how inspiring; how rich in treasured memories. High up over the surrounding hills, its graceful spire pointing heavenward, it looks down upon the ever busy city; it watches the ceaseless flow of the Mississippi in its course to the sea; it extends its view over river and bridges, across rich table lands on to the turbid waters of the Missouri. Passengers on pleasure boats are attracted by it, gaze upon it, and it speaks to them silently and eloquently of God, heaven and eternity. It cherishes the memory of many a great churchman; of a Carroll, who labored so zealously in its erection; of a mighty Kenrick, who con' secrated it to the service of God; of a Juncker, a Baltes and a Ryan, princes of the church who ruled over it and made it their home. It recounts with pride the brilliant events that took place within its walls, and the episcopal functions performed there over a period of sixty'seven years. Now the scenes have shifted. Changes have come. The episcopal See has been transferred. The pride of the Old Cathedral as such wanes. Its work however continues, whilst cherished memories linger around it like a sweet aroma, and its glories will endure and will and be intensified in the new cathedral at Springfield. THE NEW CATHEDRAL! How majestic, how sublime! Clad in Grecian beauty, demanding attention and winning admiration, it stands on an ideal site close to the center of the Capital City. Like the temple of Soloman, its materials are brought from afar. Its adamantine stone, in golden tints, are cut from the Mankato quarries of Minnesota. In beautiful mosaic the Immaculate Conception is depicted over the Altar of the Blessed 13 Sacrament. The fourteen stations of the cross are likewise in mosaic. The paneled ceiling, richly gilded and ornamented, carries the imagination to the Basilica of St. Paul outside the walls of the Eternal City. The sixteen beautiful windows are modern and novel in design. They are large and bright, and the words of Milton would hardly describe them : "And storied windows, richly dight, Casting a dim religious light", for they admit an ocean of light and flood the interior with beauty. They represent chiefly historical subjects blending religion and patriotism. In one is portrayed George Washington giving Bishop Carroll credentials to visit Canada in behalf of the Colonies during the Revolutionary War. In another is President Lincoln entrusting Archbishop Hughes with an im' portant mission to the court of Napoleon III. Another beautiful window contains a painting of the Last Supper, and beneath it are represented Cardinal Bonzana and Cardinal Mundelein receiving the Pope's blessing for the inauguration of the world's greatest Eucharistic Congress. In the sepulchre of the main altar have been placed the fragmentary relics of seven of the Apostles, of several martyrs and a small piece of the True Cross — relics that reposed for many years in the altar stone of the Old Cathedral at Alton. Over these relics the three Bishops of Alton celebrated full many a time, and from them, as well as over them, the new Bishops will continue to draw inspiration while celebrating the age-old rite, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The New Cathedral is an enduring monument to the tireless zeal of Bishop Griffin, and to the generosity and co-operation of the priests and people of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. Artistically, the new Cathedral, with its allied buildings, "is a Thing of Beauty and a Joy forever". Religiously it demonstrates the zeal and the faith of the present generation of Catholics, and will open up a new era for the exemplification of the beautiful devotion and ideals of the Catholic Church in harmony with the best traditions of the past. We, the priests of the long ago, never fancied in our wildest dreams that we could, in our day, feast our eyes on such a lovely temple con' secrated to the service of Christ, the King, and named in honor of His Immaculate Mother. E. L. SPALDING, V. G. 14 THE CATHEDRAL CITY OF ILLINOIS Henceforth it will be highly meet and laudable that Springfield, the resting place of the inimitable and superb Lincoln, be known as The Cathedral City of Illinois. No longer as in 1844 when official recognition was given The Catholic Bishop of Chicago by the State of Illinois in its grant of Corporation Sole; no longer as in 1861 when Lincoln went forth as President to take the Chair as Chief Magistrate of these United States; no longer as later on when the call to arms came in defense of the Union by Governor Yates; no longer as in 1898 when the troops marched forth to proclaim and enforce the dictum that 'The United States is Sovereign on this Continent and its fiat is law", today sees the Capitol City of Illinois the seat of a Bishopric of the Catholic Church, and in testimony of the majesty of The Master an edifice erected, ornate and substantial, dedicated and forever hence to be known as The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. This exquisite structure is strictly Grecian, of the Doric style. It is massive, enfolding some sixteen thousand square feet in the Cathedral proper. It is simple in that the lines are plain and neither curved nor fluted; it must appeal to the eye in its elements of strength as to the exterior. It is made, possibly, the more graceful and appealing in that on one side is the episcopal residence and executive offices, a building in itself commodious and commendable; on the other side a school building in every respect finished, suitable, complete in essential and detail, ideally planned to effect the paramount idea of moulding the child and yet and even a great factor to the end in that it embraces space, light, comfort, ease — in a word the child will feel at home, and contentment, a prime factor with the youth at least, will supervene for great and lasting good. Beside the School is a home for the Sisters. They are never forgotten, nor ever should be. Yet, like their brother pioneers of the early days, those who made Illinois known to the world, that Blackhawk Trail where Marquette and De LaSalle trod, those women of God have made sacrifices, sacrifices as a rule unknown to the world, sacrifice of home and kindred and all that the world holds dear, sacrifices even then amid privation so that in The Name of Christ and as He Himself hath taught, they may mould the youth to avoid evil and do good, and thereby embattlements of chastity and honor lift up the sprout of the morning to be the oak of the day and stand sponsor and support for Our Country and the Glory of the Ever Living God. Within the Cathedral gloom is banished. There is the open space, no columns intercepting. Rome at its worst in its empire and barbaric days comes back in that beautiful window to the right showing Ignatius 15 the Martyr with his leonine companions, while across the way Brendan the Discoverer looks West to the great unknown country, and further on The Great Emancipator, Old Abe Lincoln ever of Illinois, conferring with Archbishop John Hughes whom he had invoked to go forth to Europe as a disciple to plead for America, to inculcate there the abiding principle that The Union Must and Shall Be Preserved and that the curse of human slavery should never hence rear its tentacles in this land. There shall, however, supervene, as of course proper, the main altar, an entablature of marble and chisel imposing and estatic — there where The God of Love, Our Friend The Good Shepherd, shall dwell, and above, looking down as it were on Her Son and Saviour, the peerless lines of Murillo's Immaculate Conception. Fortyfour years since when Springfield first came to our observation it was far from a pleasing picture in any sense. Possibly, there may have been some eye on the episcopal trail which saw afar the then rather un' toward town erected the head of a Catholic See. Possibly, but probably not. Those bountiful prairies of Illinois were not then all shown to be a great part of the granary of the world, nor was the avalanche of souls which has since then created the major commercial and mechanical, and may we say redblooded, Metropolis of the world even remotely in mind or expectancy. Quite true some of the captains on the bridge off the shores of Lake Michigan once in awhile saw in mirage or twilight some glimpses of a future great civic environment and power, but being practical men and women they kept silence and worked and prayed and hoped — and in time believed, that God would further bless the laborers and the harvest. Thus they toiled on from Cairo to Waukegan, from Belleville to Alton, from Kaskaskia to Quincy and from Peoria unto the giant Chicago — and in the fullness of God's Own Good Time came the almost entirely unlooked for of the years agone, and Rome of The Eternal Hills spoke, and Pius XI, the Successor of Peter The Fisherman, placed his name and his signet to the scroll and, behold, Springfield in Illinois was created an Episcopal See and James A. Griffin of Chicago nominated its first bishop. Who can measure The Providence of God? Not any mortal man. To Him and in Him alone is^ perfect knowledge of all things. We must never seek to know; we are supremely blessed if we have abiding Faith and place our trust solely, entirely, and undivided in Him. All other things on this mundane sphere perish; there is not, there cannot be, of this earth anything whatever imperishable but The Master's Friendship. He never fails; no day is too dreary, no night too dark, no toil too severe nor journey too long, nor circumstance too complex but He will respond. Come to Me all who labor and are heavy burdened. Leave All to Me. 16 Behold I am with you all days. Doubt not. The Good Shepherd came to Springfield in Illinois and from small things and humble beginnings He directed and, maybe, even then some of us doubted. We are not to be condemned? Peter cried out "Lord save us or we perish": The Master said "O, ye of little Faith": And so, some of us, even friendly disposed, looked on and may be doubted this young episcopal ploughman as he struck out the line of the first furrow. He was, however, sterling and kept to his task. In time the field was harrowed, the seed was sown, the sun and the rain and the dew of the morning, the heat of the summer and the snow of the winter, all fructified and lo, in the fullness of the autumn the grain was gathered and we all wondered at the crop — the harvest was plentiful, the barns were full, and now this youthful transformer in The Name of The Good Shepherd, invites us all to come to The Feast of The King, and asks us also to be of him and with him in gratitude to The Ever Living God for all His goodness, invoking God's blessing on all men, and dedicating this wonderful work to Him, that peace and good will and charity and love may ever abound on earth but the more especially on Our Great Republic; asking, too, that while the world rolls there shall sponsor and appeal for us : Who Cometh in the Morn Beautiful as the Moon Bright as the Sun Brilliant as an army in battle array? Mary, The Immaculate, Mother of God. PATRICK JAMES CTKEEFFE of Chicago. NEW CATHEDRAL AND PIONEER PRIESTS The New Cathedral speaks in its every stone of the PIONEER PRIESTS, on the solid foundation of whose life-work it is built. Its solidity is symbolic of the staunch faith that was theirs, and that they planted as staunchly in thejiearts of the people, whose gifts^made this Cathedral possible. Its beauty is expressive of the intensity of their love for God and for "the place where His glory dwelleth." 17 Its spire, reaching high to heaven, with its clock ticking off time that is absorbed in eternity, is the tower of their abiding hope that the Church, which is the House of God on earth, may be, for them and for those for whom they gave their lives, likewise the Gate of Heaven hereafter. Its windows tell eloquently the story, how, with the word of the Gospel, they sowed too the seeds of Patriotism; for with the growth of Catholicity in the United States, as told on the windows of one side, there developed, as narrated in historical sequence, on those of the other side, the ever increasing service of the Flag by the children of the Church. Its Sanctuary, under the patronage of the Immaculate Mother of God, is the new Bethlehem, wherein, through the Mother of the great High Priest, there will be reincarnated down the generations, their Eternal Priesthood — there will be born again the new priest, to go out from this sanctuary in the full vigor of his youth, and the first seal of his ordination to grasp from the hands of the pioneers, as they fall from the ranks, the cross of Christ, and entrenched in the sacrifices of those who have gone before, to carry that cross to newer conquests, and greater conquests of glory. What a fitting monument to their priesthood — to the priesthood of the early days in Illinois — is this glorious Cathedral, how expressive of the fruits of their labors, and how inspiring to us, who have come after' wards — by nobility of character, by generosity of sacrifice, by sanctity of life, to prove worthy of so fruitful a lineage in the priesthood of Jesus Christ. M. A. TARRENT, Chancellor. A PIONEER PRIESTS 1 IMPRESSIONS The new Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield presents a picture admired and praised by everyone who sees it. The massive columns in front, the well formed portals, the strong high walls, the graceful lines of the building, give an expression of calm dignity and refined beauty not surpassed. The interior, as is to be expected, presents a scene that elicits our joyous admiration. The high altar, with its figure of the Immaculate Con' ception after Murillo's famous painting, is a work of wondrous beauty. The columns on either side of the nave, the"glorious paneled ceiling, the original artistic windows, all impress us with a sense of their high har' monious beauty. 18 If people traveling in the old country were to visit a church like it they would bestow unstinted praise on the genius that planned it, the art that wrought it, and the faith and devotion and generous zeal of the people for the glory and service of God which it so eloquently expresses. A like praise is due here. It stands a chief attraction in architectural beauty and as one of the foremost objects of interest in Springfield, the home of Lincoln. This glorious structure marks, in a triumphant manner, the advance made by the Church in this Diocese in seventyfive years. A. F. CARROLL, R. D. Pastor of St. Mary's Church, Litchfield, Illinois "LET THERE BE LIGHT" The two great forces of good and evil are represented in holy writ by the words, light and darkness, each one being repeated there more than one hundred times. Here we speak of the word light as it is the special characteristic that makes our cathedral unique. In a short statement like this it is impossible to speak of our cathedral as a whole, and anyway it must be seen to be appreciated. The word light is often used in its proper or literal sense as in Job, Gen. and St. Mark. But more often it is used in its figurative sense. It is in this sense that St. John says that "God is Light and there is no darkness in Him," that is y God is sovereign perfection and there is no defect in Him. In the same sense St, James calls God "the Father of light". St. Paul Heb. calls the Saviour "the Splendor of Light". Our Lord says of Himself, "I am the light of the world". The Council of Nice calls the Saviour the "light of light". And so all through the gospels, epistles and psalms we see the light shining in darkness, but the darkness did not comprehend it. Yes indeed, there are cathedrals more costly, greater and grander where the builders have marshalled the artistic and religious factors from the ends of the earth. But alas, they all seem to have tarried too long in the catacombs. This has so warped their concept of the House of God that our only relief is in the liturgy which says to us "Sursum Corda", and in the knowledge that on that day amid all the gloom the beautiful words will be said for each of us, "Let perpetual light shine upon him." Not so in our historic city with its continuous influx of pious pilgrims. How many of them will enter the deeply recessed doors and stand trans' fixed as the dazzling beauty breaks on the view. Some pious adorer may 19 then hear the pilgrim rave and say! "It is good to be here, let us build two more, one for Moses and one for EliaE." Not the least inspiring was the financing which was at the same time generous and spontaneous. This was owing to the seal, eloquence and personality of our leader who so energised the diocese that we had only to plug in and the juice was there — to pay. P. J. O'REILLY, St. Joseph's Church, Springfield THE BLENDING OF TWO LOVES The day in America has passed, if there ever was such a day, when the Catholic citizen must blush and hang his head in shame. He inherits from his parents the most priceless of possessions — the love of God and the love of country. And with these gifts, he dots fair America with temples, which express their possession. Such an expression is the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. In that stately pile one reads in every line the beautiful blending of these two loves. And while we see in our two modest temples the reflection of our mother church of the diocese, and behold from afar and with reverence, her beauty, we, too, become impressed with a deep love for God, and a deeper love for our adopted country. For, practically every country of Europe is represented among us. Since we know the beauty of the house of God in our respective countries, we can appreciate the more the beauty of His temples here. We look at our cathedral, and we glorify God and praise Him in our many tongues; we renew our love for America; we worship more devoutly in our respective churches. REV. ERNEST A. BURTLE, St. Barbara's Church St. Aloysius' Church P.S. — The above represents the feelings of a young American priest whose American ancestry extends back over a hundred years. It relates the fact that our young Americans of today are not only friendly, but decidedly helpful in behalf of others who have recently arrived on our American shores. This is real Americanism with all self'adver rising eliminated. M. J. F. 20 IMMACULATE CONCEPTION— SPRINGFIELD, ILL. The story of the Catholic Church in Springfield goes back to the time when settlers came from Kentucky and emigrants came over from Ireland and Germany. The pioneers practiced their faith as well as they could with a missionary priest attending to their spiritual needs about once a year. Gathering the Catholics for mass and instructions the mis- sionary baptized their children, blessed their marriages, and heard their confessions. With this work done he traveled on to other missions. The first missionary priest of record was Father St. Cyr. In one of his letters, dated January 11th, 1834, he mentions the bare fact that he visited Springfield. This was three years prior to the removal of the State Capitol from Vandalia to Springfield. Father George Hamilton was appointed the first resident priest in 1839. Born about 1814 in Marion County, Kentucky Father Hamilton made his studies at St. Mary's Seminary, Perry County, Kentucky and later went to Rome to complete his theological training. He was ordained in 1839 by Bishop Rosati of St. Louis and was sent to the mission at Spring' field and the central Illinois country. There were fifteen stations in this mission all lying from twenty to sixty miles from Springfield. These stations included Sugar Creek, Bear Creek, Flat Branch, Shelbyville, Lick Creek, Jacksonville, Jersey Prairie, Virginia, Meredosia, Naples, Exeter, Sterling, Petersburg and Middletown. Finding it very difficult to say mass in a private home Father Hamilton endeavored to build a church. Upon his arrival his congregation counted only about five Catholic families and seven or eight single indiviudals but later, in a letter of June 7th, 1839 he says: "There are about fourteen families and between forty and forty-five single individuals/ 1 With the help of these people and the faithful in the various stations he attended, he obtained pledges amounting to about $2,000 for the erection of a church. When the time came to pay these pledges only about $100.00 was collected. This was due to the hard times that continued after the nation-wide panic of 1837. When it became apparent that the money needed to build a church was not to be obtained from the people, Father Hamilton determined to effect a loan. Interest on money was very high, fluctuating between twelve and twenty-five per cent according to the needs of the borrower. This interest was entirely too high for his impoverished people to pay and it seemed as though nothing could be done to build a church. Discouraged he wrote to his Bishop saying: "Whether the failure proceeds from my inability or mismanagement, from coolness of zeal on the part of subscribers or from the pressure of the times, I am unable to ascertain." When Father Hamilton was appointed to Alton in 1840, the Ven- 21 centian Fathers from Perryville, Missouri took charge of Springfield. The missionaries who came here from time to time were Fathers Joseph B. Raho, B. Rollando, H. G. Aelen, S. J. and J. Timon, who was afterwards made Bishop of Buffalo. They celebrated mass in the home of a Creole, William Scoville, known as "Billie the barber." During the third year of their ministrations they baptized forty-eight children and assisted at seven marriages. The first marriage of record is that of J. Joyce and Mary Drew, on August 7th, 1842; the first baptism recorded is that of James J. Cavan' augh, August 6th, 1842 and the first funeral recorded is that of John Farrel, April 3rd, 1843. When Springfield was incorporated as a city in 1840 it had a population of two thousand five hundred and seventynine as shown by the first census. In 1842 the first railroad to enter Springfield was completed and was known as the Northern Cross Railroad. It extended as far as Meredosia on the Illinois River. In 1844 when the Diocese of Chicago was erected Springfield came within its jurisdiction. At that time Father Hamilton again took charge of the Congregation and remained two years. In one year he baptized forty 'eight children. But he made no attempt during his second pastorate to build a church. Leaving the diocese he went to Boston where he con' tinued his labors for many years until his death. Father Phillip Conlon succeeded him in 1846 and within two years collected enough money to buy a lot and build a church. On the south side of Adams street between Eighth and Ninth Streets he purchased a lot from John Berger for the sum of $500.00. This was in August of 1848 and a few months later a little frame church was erected and dedicated to St. John the Baptist. Father Gifford followed Father Conlon in 1850, but after three years, broken in health, he retired to Ruma. During one year of Father Gilford's pastorate he baptized thirty-four children and assisted at fourteen marriages. With the rapid increase of the Catholic population in Illinois, the southern half of the state was made the Diocese of Quincy. This was in 1853, but very soon after the See was moved to Alton. From 1853 till 1858 the St. John the Baptist parish had three resident priests: Fathers M. Stehle, M. Prendergast and M. Hurley. Father Hurley spent only one year here. He was transferred to Peoria where he died in 1892. In 1875 he was appointed the first Bishop of Peoria but dc clined to assume the burdens of office on account of his advanced years. The membership of the St. John's Parish in 1856 counted about three hundred and eighty families and the little frame church had become in- 22 adequate to accommodate the large attendance. Father Quigly therefore bought the half block on Monroe Street and began excavating for a new church that would accommodate all the English speaking members of the parish. The German speaking members would retain the old frame church for which they paid $1800.00. Father J. Fitzgibbons completed the new church. It was one hundred feet long and fifty-eight feet wide, the largest church in Springfield at that time. A parish residence twenty-six by forty- three feet was built at the rear of the church. The total cost of church and residence amounted to $14,500.00. The new church was dedicated April 3rd, 1859 and was placed under the patronage of the Immaculate Con- ception. Rt. Rev. Henry D. Juncker officiated at the dedication and the sermon was preached by Rev. Stephen Ryan of St. Louis. On June 4th, 1857 John Kavanaugh and Catherine his wife conveyed a tract of land by Warranty Deed to the Rt. Rev. Henry Damian Juncker, Bishop of Alton and his successors in office to be used as a cemetery for the Catholic congregation of Springfield. The tract of land contained sixteen and six-sevenths acres and was bought for the consideration of $317-00. It was Father Fitzgibbons who divided the sorrows with his parish during the trying times of the Civil War. He left in January 1864 and from January till the end of May the parish was attended by Rev. F. H. Zabel D.D. and Rev. F. Stick. In May of '64 Rev. Joseph Costa was appointed pastor. The second year of his pastorate in 1865 there were five hundred and thirty-seven families in the parish. During the same year he baptized two hundred and fifty-six children and assisted at fifty-nine mar- riages. Father Costa was succeeded by Father Louis Hinssen in 1866. At about the same time Father M. Clifford was sent as an assistant to this parish. Father John O'Sullivan was appointed to Springfield in 1868. He died one year later and was buried in Calvary Cemetery. In the fall of '68 Father Timothy Hickey was appointed assistant pastor. After the death of Father O'Sullivan Father Hickey assumed the administration until the appointment of Rev. Patrick Brady of Cairo, Illinois. The year after the arrival of Father Brady the congre^ ;rion had grown to such an extent that it became necessary to build an addition to ac- commodate the parishoners. The front was extended twenty feet, the floor lowered three feet and a gallery was set back over the entrance. In 1870 the population of Springfield had increased to seventeen thousand three hundred and sixty-four. In the same year the first street pavement was laid. The congregation once more outgrew the capacity of the church build- ing and it became necessary to form a new parish and so St. Joseph's Church came into existance in 1875 comprising all the city north of Carpenter 23 Street. In 1882 the church was frescoed at a cost of $700.00. The same year records show there were four hundred and ninety-nine families in the parish and six hundred and thirty children attending St. Mary's school. One hundred and forty children were baptised that year, fifty-six deaths were recorded and ten marriage ceremonies were performed. By 1887 the number of families had grown to five hundred and fifty. Both the church and school had become so crowded that a division of the parish was again necessary and in 1888 St. Agnes parish was established in the southwest part of the city. Father Brady had four assistants during his pastorate: Father T. Hickey until 1870; Father V. Burgos from 1871 until 1872; Father P. M. Bourke from 1872 until 1884 and Father Thomas O'Reilly, who remained until June of 1889. In February 1889 Father Brady was appointed to Jacksonville. His death occured three years later, on May 5, 1892. He was laid to rest in the Jacksonville Cemetery. After the departure of Father Brady, Reverend Father Hickey returned to Springfield after nineteen years absence, but this time he came, not as an assistant, but as the pastor. At the same time he was appointed by Rt. Rev. James Ryan D.D., Vicar General of the Diocese. The year after Father Hickey's arrival in 1890 a very successful mission was given by the Paulist Fathers. When Father Hickey went to Europe in 1894 for a well deserved vacation Fathers Driscoll and O'Connor had new altars installed to greet his return the following Christmas. A three story addition to the front of the old parish rectory was made in 1896 at a cost of $10,383.00. New pews and a new altar rail of the same archi- tectural style as that of the altars were put in the church in 1902. Four years later the congregation numbering about five hundred and eighty-two families once more outgrew the capacity of its church and school and as a consequence the southeastern part of the city was organized as the St. Patrick's Parish. In October of 1924 the old method of supporting the church by paying pew rent was discontinued and in its place the monthly envelope system was introduced. By this plan every wage earner in the parish helps support the church. Father Hickey remained in charge of the Immaculate Conception con- gregation until failing health compelled him to retire on January 19, 1924. He took up his residence at St. John's hospital where he was cared for by the Sisters of the Order of St. Francis. At 12:30 A.M. Wednesday morning October 20th, 1926 he passed away at the age of eighty-four years. On Monday morning at ten A.M. October 25th, a children's Solemn Requiem High Mass was celebrated at the Cathedral by Rev. J. Murphy, 24 nephew of the dead priest. Rev. J. Howard of St. Agnes parish delivered the sermon. The Pontifical Requiem High Mass was celebrated Tuesday morning at 10:00 A.M. by the Rt. Rev. Bishop James A. Griffin D.D. Other officers of the mass were: Rev. Dean Murphy, assistant priest; Very Rev. W. L. Lammert, dean of the Effingham deanery and Very Rev. P. F. Carroll, dean of the Litchfield deanery, deacons of honor to the Bishop; Rev. Wm. Costello of New Berlin, deacon of the Mass; Rev. J. J. Connolly, Charleston, sub-deacon; Very Rev. M. A. Tarrent, Chancellor of the Diocese, master of ceremonies assisted by Rev. Dr. Amos E. Giusti, Vice-Chancellor of the Diocese. One hundred and three priests from the various cities in the diocese attended the funeral. In a plot in Calvary Cemetery the body of Father Hickey was laid to rest. Two thousand mourners, representing every creed in Springfield were present. The active pall bearers were: Frank McGurk, James J. Collins, Peter Myers, Robert Furlong, James Delaney, W. H. Conway, Edward Egan and James M. Graham. Rev. Father Hickey was one of the most widely known members of the priesthood in Illinois. Born November 20, 1841 in Kanturn, County Cork, Ireland. Father Hickey received his primary education in the national schools, then attended the seminary at Killarney for his studies of the Classics. Later he attended All Hollows College at Dublin where he studied philosophy and theology. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 24th, 1868 at the age of twenty-seven years. Father Hickey *s ministry in the Springfield Diocese was under four Bishops. He came shortly after the organization of the diocese and was a leading factor in its developement almost from its inception. In recognition of his long and valued service he was appointed Vicar-general of the Diocese by Bishop James Ryan D.D. shortly after Bishop Ryan assumed charge in 1888. He remained in that position until the death of Bishop Ryan on July 2, 1923. Bishop Griffin paid tribute to the dead priest saying: "After many months of silent suffering caused by blindness he looked calmly into the future and did not falter. With a heroism borne of his supreme faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth he approached the end." Father Hickey had many assistants during his long pastorate at the Immaculate Conception Church. They were: Rev. Thomas O'Reilly from Feb. 1889 to June 1889; Rev. Patrick R. Ducey from June 1889 to July 1892; Rev. P. R. Byrne from July 1892 to July 1893; Rev. Bernard Lee from July 1893 to Feb. 1895; Rev. Joseph O'Connor from Feb. 1895 to Nov. 1899; Rev. J. J. Driscoll from May 1895 to Dec. 1895; Rev. J. F. Murphy from Nov. 1899 to April 1900; Rev. F. X. Smith from Dec. 1899 to April 25 1900; Rev. Joseph Finnegan from May 1900 to Nov. 1902; Rev. M. Costello from Aug. 1900 to June 1903; Rev. T. CTCarroll from June 1903 to May 1904; Rev. E. Maguire from Sept. 1903 to Sept. 1905; Rev. Francis Curran from July 1905 to Sept. 1908; Rev. John J. Connolly from Sept. 1905 to Sept. 1910; Rev. Lawrence C. Ryan from Sept. 1908 to Sept. 1912; Rev. Michael Enright from Sept. 1910 to Nov. 1915; Rev. Timothy Mc Keogh from Sept. 1912 to Sept 1913; Rev. Joseph ODywer from Sept. 1913 to Sept. 1915; Rev. William O'Sullivan from Sept. 1915 to Jan. 1926; Rev. Patrick J. Beary from Nov. 1915 to July 1917; Rev. George J. Kenny from July 1917 to Jan. 1924. On the 26th of October 1923 Pope Pius XI issued a Papal document designating the church of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield to be the Cathedral of the Diocese and so the Episcopal See was transferred from Alton to Springfield. November 10th, 1923 another Papal document was issued which appointed Rev. James A. Griffin D.D. Bishop of the new Springfield Diocese. Rt. Rev. James A. Griffin D.D. selected Most Rev. Geo. W. Mundelein D.D., as his consecrator, with Rt. Rev. Samuel Stritch, D.D., and Rt. Rev. E. F. Hoban D.D., as the Assistant Bishops. On Monday morning February 25th, 1924 he was consecrated Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in the Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago. The ceremony of Consecration was performed during Pontifical High Mass sung by the Archbishop. The Consecration Sermon was delivered by Rt. Rev. Bernard Mahoney D.D., of Sioux Falls. On Wednesday, February 27th, the Bishop arrived in Springfield. An advance delegation met his train at Lincoln and escorted the party to Springfield. In the delegation were the Very Rev. E. L. Spalding V. G., administrator inter regnum; deans of the diocese, Springfield, Decatur, Alton, Effingham, Quincy, Jacksonville and Litchfield; the priests, con' suitors of the diocese and clergy representatives of all Catholic institutions. Bishop Griffin was ushered into Springfield by cheering crowds who gave every evidence of enthusiastic pleasure. The next morning, Thursday 28th, 1927 at 9:30 o'clock the installation ceremony which was performed by Archbishop Mundelein took place at the Church, preceding a Pontifical High Mass. The official documents were read in Latin and in English, followed by an exortation from the Most Reverend Archbishop. A salutation from the clergy of the diocese was then given by the Very Rev. Monsignor E. L. Spalding, V. G. administrator of the diocese since the death of Bishop Ryan in July. Then followed the formal obeisance of the clergy of the diocese, about two hundred in number, each in turn being presented to Bishop Griffin enthroned in the sanctuary. A salutation from the laity was given by the Hon. James M. Graham of Springfield, expressive of the loyalty, of the people of the diocese and en' 26 thusiastic in its generous welcome. The installation ceremony was brought to a close by Bishop Griffin delivering his charge to the clergy and laity of the diocese. The Pontifical Mass then followed, sung by Bishop Griffin, assisted by the Very Rev. J. Meckel, M. R., Alton, and the Very Rev. J. Murphy M. R., Decatur. The assistant priest was the Very Rev. Mon- signor Spalding V. G. Deacons of honor, Very Rev. W. L. Lammert, Effingham and Rev. P. J. O'Reilly, Springfield. Deacon of the Mass, Very Rev. H. B. Degenhardt M. R., Quincy. Sub-deacon, Rev. James J. How- ard, D.D., Springfield. Master of ceremony, Rev. M. A. Tarrent and Rev. P. J. Smyth, Alton, Acolytes, Rev. L. Hufker and Rev. J. L. Gatten, Springfield. Censor bearers, Rev. E. J.

Smith, Springfield and Rev. Charles Meagher, Decatur. Chanters, Rev. E. J. Eckhard, Edwardsville and Rev. M. Enright, Green- field. In the evening a reception was held at the State Arsenal in honor of the new Bishop. The building was filled to capacity and as the time of the commencement of the program, eight o'clock drew near, thousands crowded the doors. Upon Bishop Griffin's entrance the throng broke into loud and prolonged cheering. The opening address was given by Rt. Rev. E. L. Spalding who in- troduced Hon. S. A. Bullard, Mayor of Springfield as chairman. After Mayor Bullard 's address the next speaker on the program was Col. English who welcomed Bishop Griffin to the city on behalf of the governor of the state. Following Col. English, Edmund Burke gave a short address. Bishop Peter Muldoon, who was called upon without notice also delivered a short talk. Bishop Griffin was then introduced by chairman Bullard. Waiting for a few minutes till the cheering subsided Bishop Griffin then delivered his address. The program closed with the assembly singing the "Star Spangled Banner." Following the music, Bishop Griffin stood on the right of the speaker's platform and was introduced to and shook hands with several thousand persons. In November of 1926 Rev. George Faller was appointed administrator. Father Faller remained until June, when he was assigned to Sigel, Illinois as pastor of St. Michael's Church. On July 1, 1927 Father Hufker, was appointed rector. In consequence of the appointment of Father Hufker on September 9, 1928 to the permanent Rectorship of St. Boniface Church, Quincy. He was succeeded on the same day by Rev. P. D. Curran as administrator. Father D. J. Quinn of Auburn has the distinction of being the only 27 priest from St. Mary's parish. It has however, furnished many of its daughters for the sisterhood. They are: Mother Regina Colgan, O.S.D.; Sister M. Peter Sexton, O.S.D.; Sister Marcella Luby, O.S.D.; Sister Sabina McGurk, O.S.D.; Sister Martina Fagan, O.S.D.; Sister M. Jordan Sexton, O.S.D.; Sister M. Evangelist Sexton, O.S.D.; Sister M. Evangel- ist Keegan, O.S.D.; Sister Anastasia Maurer, O.S.D.; Sister Patricia Glen- non, O.S.D.; Sister Margaret Mary Gaffigan, O.S.D.; Sister Vincent Marie Manning, O.S.D.; Sister Rose Therese Keegan, O.S.D.; Sister M. Eugene Smith, O.S.D.; Sister Agnes Clare Graham, O.S.D.; Sister Ruth Marie Able, O.S.D.; Sister Dorotheus Walsh, O.S.D.; Sister M. Frances Sullivan, O.S.D.; Sister M. Albert Quinn, O.S.D.; Sister M. Borgia Thihey, Ursuline; Sister Margaret Mary Porter, Ursuline; Sister Es telle Markey, Sister of Mercy; Sister Ligouri Mulholland, O.S.F.; Sister Mary Florence Keifer, O.S.F.; Sister Rose Marie Purcell, O.S.F. L. HUFKER IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SCHOOL In 1860, the year after the erection of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Father Fitzgibbons, feeling the need of a school for the boys of the parish, caused to be erected a small, one story frame school house in the space just north of the Church and placed it under the charge of the Holy Cross Brothers from Notre Dame, Indiana. The school was built in the shape of a T and stood back in the yard about forty feet from Seventh Street. The south end of the front room was partitioned off and served as the sleeping quarters for the Brothers. They took their meals at the parish rectory and at the old Jefferson House on the Southeast corner of Seventh and Washington Streets. The younger children did their lessons in the back room while the higher grades were taught in the front room facing Seventh Street. The school was heated by means of two large iron stoves and when artificial light was necessary lamps met the demand. Some of the Brothers that taught during their fifteen year stay in Springfield were: Brothers Gregory, Lucian, John, Irvin, Patrick, Phillip, Julian, Cyril, Alexander, Edward and Oswald. When Father L. Hinssen was appointed pastor in 1866 his first work was to bring about the establishment of a school for the girls of the parish, who had up to this time been attending school at the Ursuline Academy. He therefore purchased the old St. John the Baptist Church from the German Congregation and remodeled it into a school for the girls. 28 "On the 5th of September 1866 the following agreement was entered into between the Rev. William Busch, pastor of the German Congregation, Springfield, Illinois and Rev. Louis Hinssen, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in the presence of Mr. John Bretz; and Louis Sommer. Rev. W. Busch in the name of the German Congregation with the permission and approbation of the Rt. Rev. H. D. Juncker agrees to sell to the English Congregation of the Immaculate Conception, the church and lots known as the St. John's Church property; and Rev. L. Hinssen in the name of the English Congregation agrees to pay to the German Congregation the principal and interest due from them to the Ursuline Sisters for the lot on which the new German Church is built viz,. $4800.00 and interest until September 5th $227-85 total $5,027.85. Paid to the Sisters by the Rt. Rev. H. D. Juncker January 5th, 1866 and due to him from the Congregation." At the time of the purchase there were one hundred and sixtysix families paying pew rent. On March 26th, 1867 Mother Caroline visited Springfield and made arrangements for the Sisters of Notre Dame from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to teach the school just bought for the girls. On August 24th the Sisters arrived and took charge. The interior of the new school was partitioned off into small rooms. They had a large and small class room, reception room, Chapel, Sister's dining room, kitchen, and bed rooms. Later the Sisters bought the large two story frame house just west of the school from a Mr. Owens. A six foot fence was built around the yard of both the convent and the school. The Sisters taught not only the girls of the parish, but also the little boys in the first three grades. The Civil War, which started April 12th, 1861, was more than half over by this time. The school buildings were now occupied by competent teachers and willing pupils for that day, and it was deemed, better to buy than to build, when, after a few years a consolidation of interests must necessarily follow. Everything was planned and done as was thought best by Pastors and teachers, each striving to lighten the burden of the others. During the Civil War the catechetical training was looked after by the good Brothers and Sisters. Even the Mothers in their Catholic homes, lent a helping hand in their own quiet way by the constant use of the little catechism, leaving explanations for the priests, and so the good work went on till the end of the war. When Father Hickey was sent as assistant pastor to the Immaculate 29 Conception church he was given charge of the Immaculate Conception school, where he took evident delight in training the children for the reception of the Sacraments. When Father Brady was appointed pastor of the Immaculate Con' ception Church his arrival in Springfield marked the dawning of a brighter day, for being a much younger man than any of his predecessors and provided with necessary help according to the times, everything progressed more rapidly. The studies that had been dropped from time to time were resumed, but could not be carried on extensively in the limited space at their disposal. Some of the Sisters of Notre Dame that taught here were: Sisters Capistrana, Alberta, Ansbertha, Amelia, Lydia, Ligouri, and Hughelina. In the good old days of Mother Capistrana a class of orphans was per' mitted to board at St. Mary's Convent and attend the parochial school on Adams Street. During the months of May and June a large school bench was kept for their use in the Northeast corner of the yard where, under the supervision of one good Sister they sewed or crocheted or even conned their lessons for the following day. Meanwhile the limits of the school space had become inadequate to the rapidly growing demand. The time had come for the consolidation of interests as foretold by Bishop Juncker and, in 1875 the cornerstone of the edifice, known as St. Mary's school, was laid amidst general rejoicing under the auspices of Reverend Father Brady and his host of Clerical friends. The same teachers were retained, the boys and girls occupying opposite sides of the building. The studies once dropped owing to lack of space, were resumed. Things went on in much the same way for the next nine years until Rev. Father Hickey was appointed pastor of St. Mary's Church. Very Reverend Father Hickey had a deep interest in the welfare of St. Mary's School, and with the assistance of Rev. P. R. Ducey, whom Rt. Rev. James Ryan, D.D. had appointed as his assistant, he endeavored to render it an "institution according to his own heart." He found the girls of the Immaculate Conception Parish under the charge of the Sisters of Notre Dame while the boys enjoyed the super' vision of the Holy Cross Brothers and, to his manner of thinking, all the children should be under the same jurisdiction. Accordingly he applied to the Mother General of the Notre Dame Congregation for Sisters to take charge of the boys, but the Constitutions of her Congregation forbade the teaching of boys over a certain age, and she informed him to that effect. Father Hickey did not wish to employ two communities, hence he chose one that was willing to take charge of the entire school. He accordingly applied to Mother M. Agnes at the Dominican Mother House in Jackson' 30 ville, December 1889 with the result that the following statement appears in their Annals under date of August, 1890. "This month eight Dominican Sisters under the leadership of Sister M. Thomas Wight, went to Spring' field, Sangamon County, Illinois to take charge of St. Mary's School, of the Immaculate Conception. The co'laborers of Sister M. Thomas were Sister M. Reginald, Sister Frances, Sister Veronica, Sister M. Louis, Sister Agnes, Sister Alphonsa, Sister M. Lawrence and Sister Imelda. The first year the boys occupied the west side of the building and the girls the east, but later on it proved more expedient for the children of the same grade to occupy the same room. Singing classes were provided at a very early date as all were required to lend their voices to the service of God during the nine o'clock mass on Sundays. Competent Music Teachers have always been in readiness to unfold the beauties of the Tonal Art to all who sought them. There was, at that time an examination in which the entire school participated, viz: the "Diocesan Annual". The Board of Examiners was appointed by the Bishop and consisted of the following Clergymen : Very Rev. T. Hickey, V. G.; Very Rev. J. F. Mohr, R. D., New Berlin; Rev. Father Penmartz, SS. Peter 6? Paul's Church; Rev. Father Krekenberg, Sacred Heart Church and the assistant Father of the Immaculate Con' ception. This ordeal consumed a week and all free breath was suspended till it was over. The children's Parents were generally present and the school work was interspersed with interesting programmes given by the respective grades. This obviated the necessity of an entertainment at the close of school and certainly gave free play to all childish enthusiasm besides satisfying the parents as to the progress of their children. In 1906 a convent was built for the Sisters who taught in the Im' maculate Conception School on the Northwest corner of Monroe and Seventh Streets, at a cost of $8,547.00. The school went on much the same as usual, but Father Hickey 's wonderful interest therein was no longer the same. It did not desert him but he was no longer able for a duty which he considered so important. He reserved some classes for himself and then consigned the work into the hands of Rev. Fathers O'Sullivan and Kenny with perfect confidence that all would be right. On June 12th, 1928 the last class to graduate from the old St. Mary's School received their diplomas from our Rt. Rev. Bishop. Thirtyeight years ago St. Mary's had a graduating class of fifteen pupils and now the class of '28 has more than doubled the number having thirtyone graduates. By the time studies are resumed in September, the school, which is being built in connection with the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, will be completed and the children of the parish will move into the new building. 31 The new two story school which is being erected on the corner of Sixth and Cass Streets will contain twelve large class rooms, an office room and a large recreation hall in the basement. Connected to the school is a convent for the Dominican Sisters who teach in the school. Probably no better example of the progress of time is to be found than in the four schools that have been under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. The two room school for the boys on Seventh Street and the little school for the girls on Adams Street finally gave way to what the people of fifty-three years ago considered a modern and up-to-date building. Now this same school, which we people of the present time look upon as hopelessly inconvenient and old-fashioned has in turn been succeeded by the present new school. Modern in every convenience and accommodation, meeting all the standards of fire inspection and coping with all educational requirements it stands today an imposing and glorious monument to the growth and prosperity of the Catholic people of Springfield. May the Blessed Virgin Mary in whose honor the school is dedicated, guide and protect all her children and may she help them grow into better men and women. On September 4, 1928 the old St. Mary's School was transferred to the new Cathedral School building located at corner of South Sixth and Cass Streets. The Bishop was able to carry out a long cherished hope in the establishing of a Kindergarten class on this day and with an enrollment of twenty-three kids between the ages of five and six. Adjoining the school to the north a Convent building has been provided for the Sisters. It provides two parlors with the usual refectory and kitchen and also a large community room. There is a large Sun Parlor for their recreational use. Each sister has an individual room fitted up with individual wash bowls. A room to be used as an infirmary has also been provided for them. A play ground facing south on Sixth Street about 110 feet long and 150 feet deep has been provided for the children. L. HUFKER 32 FAREWELL TO OLD SAINT MARY'S OLD SAINT MARY'S Ah, dear old ancient house of prayer While still thine humble walls are there We cast one long last lingering glance Before the hands that wreck, advance. 'Tis whispered, and we heed with fear The truth, thy days are numbered here That soon like dreams of yesterday That mighty frame shall pass away. How proud above yon crumbling pile The golden crosses pose and smile The fury of tempests, they've long defied Those reminders of Him who bled and died. Far, far below, on the busy mart The pilgrim treadsm, with aching heart And raising his eyes above the din He feels a new hope throb within. No chimes in sweet harmonious tone From steeple tall, or tower of stone EVe summoned age or flaming youth To worship at thy Shrine of truth. 33 Still, on they came, that little flock From distant lane and cultured block Joyous in sunshine, undaunted in shower Their faith alone, foretelling the hour. Often attired in hood and shawl Displayed before the eyes of all And a heart to senseless follies, blind But enthroned within proud and refined. They loved their homes where children played And lisped the prayers that Heaven made Where, after cradle lays were hummed Their mother forms to sleep, succumbed. Star Of The Sea, with hopeful smile The bride has trod thy spacious aisle And many a dirge in tearful tone Has bowed the head of youth, and grown. The Priestly voice which knew no fear Has warned the luke'warm listeners' ear God's uncrowned Saints, in silent hours Have decked His Shrine with sweetest flowers. Here, neath thy roof, Queen Immaculate Father Hickey, the Saintly, lie in state No nations king, of now are then So honored by the hearts of men. And amid scenes before which the beam And beauties of nature fade like a dream Our first Bishop offered, in mystified tone His Pontifical Mass and ascended the throne. Fond memory, that awakes and brings Back in our lives, the by'gone things Now leads us, secret tears aflow To the little school of long ago. Hither came children, from manse and prairies To answer the bell at Old Saint Mary's And modest faces with dark veiled brow Sacraficed all for then, as now. 34 Oft on the dim old fashioned stage Now a victim to progressive age Has the hero blushed, the villian died While parents sat o'er' whelmed with pride. Oft o'er the sward, in long ago With wreath and veiling, white as snow A procession of innocence wended its way To receive, On First Communion day. A few survive, with locks of gray Who lived and loved that yesterday But oh, the lips forever still Upon that lone and breathless hill. Dear Old Saint Mary's, we weep with thee In the throes of thy Gethsemane Our holiest thoughts shall be of you When not a trace remains in view. Adieu, all that was on thy sacred spot Lost to our gaze, but never forgot Many a mortal you've sought to console Lighten their burden, and cradle their soul. Though wrecked, thy walls, perpetual shall stand The words to Peter, omnipotent, grand And The Fruit, Blessed Of Thy Womb The fires of hell shall ne'er consume. By HENRY HICKEY 35 THE LATE LAMENTED MONSIGNOR TIMOTHY HICKEY 36 THE OLD CATHEDRAL The Immaculate Conception Church, which has served the purpose of a Cathedral since the coming of Right Reverend James A. Griffin, D. D., as Bishop, holds a very warm spot in the hearts of Springfield's citizens. Its history extends back to the days when settlers came from Kentucky and emigrants came from Ireland and Germany. When the first missionary priest, Father St. Cyr, visited Springfield in 1834, three years before the State Capitol was moved from Vandalia to Springfield, he found only a few Catholic families. When Rev. George Hamilton, the first resident priest, was appointed in 1839, he found only five Catholic families, seven or eight souls all told. The story of those days as told in the Diamond Jubilee History of our Diocese, makes thrilling reading. From 1834 to 1928 is only 94 years! But count if you can the sacrifices and the struggles, the smiles and the tears, the failures and the triumphs crowded into those 94 years! Those settlers from Kentucky! Those emigrants from Ireland and Germany! Think of them, but when thinking of them bow your head and move your lips in silent, reverent prayer for them! How heroic was their faith! How mag' nificent was their record ! They builded nobly and well, not only in brick and stone but in the hearts, minds and souls of their children. Those heroic pioneers still live on with and among us. They live in their children and children's children! They made possible what we enjoy today. Go back in spirit through those 94 years! Watch the progress made step by step, year by year till this year of grace 1928! What a mighty, magnificent transformation. The Old Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception fades out of the picture and in its place rises yonder majestic Cathedral with its wealth of beauty where art has been lavish in presence of Him who sits enthroned in its Tabernacle, and in presence of her who in the long ago enthroned Him on her Immaculate bosom! Time changes but the Catholic Church remains the same . Time changes, but our Catholic faith endures forever. And so today amid the glory and the pomp and the salvos of Dedica* tion, Jubilation Day, we thank God for the Old Cathedral on East Monroe Street and we pray God to reward those pioneer priests and laity who by their faith and loyalty, and generosity paved the way for the triumphs that are ours today. Their memories shall remain enshrined forever in this New Shrine of our Immaculate Mother. May this New Shrine be to the present and future generations all that the Old Shrine on East Monroe Street was to those who have gone before us. 37 May the joys and the sorrows, the smiles and the tears, the hopes and the triumphs that have sactnified and consecrated the Old Shrine during the years that have gone brighten the crowns of the heroic souls who worshipped within its walls and bring God's choicest benedictions on us their children who kneel, and think and pray and adore in this new Shrine — this new Temple of the All Holy One who makes it His Home so that we may abide with Him. While this new Temple shall stand, the memory of the Shrine on East Monroe coupled with the name and the memory of dear, good, faith' ful, loyal Father Tim Hickey shall endure in our souls and in the souls of all who prise the good, the beautiful and the true. M. J. FOLEY 38 SECTION II LET THE ARCHITECT SPEAK Shortly after the installation of Bishop Griffin in 1924 as the ordinary of the diocese of Springfield in Illinois he directed his attention to the im- portant business of the construction of a cathedral and its appurtenant structures. In 1925 the Bishop with this idea in mind traveled to Europe and examined closely the outstanding monuments of church architecture there. On his return he commissioned the writer of this article to prepare some preliminary sketches accompanied by approximate estimates of cost for a cathedral group to be erected upon the site of the Immaculate Con- ception Pro-cathedral, Monroe and Seventh Streets. These sketches when completed and submitted to the Bishop clearly disclosed that the property proposed was not sufficiently deep to provide a proper setting for a monu- mental group of structures such as this. The architect, therefore, petitioned the Bishop to seek a new site for his cathedral. The Bishop confronted with this situation, immediately summoned his Diocesan Council and laid the proposal of new property before them. The Consultors endorsed his Lordship's willingness to heed the architect's suggestion and urged the purchase of new land. In the fall of 1926 the site on which the new Cathedral group stands, Sixth Street from Lawrence Street to Cass Street was acquired by the Catholic Bishop of Springfield. The Bishop thereupon ordered the work of final drawings and specifi- cations to proceed, but not before he had fully satisfied himself that he would use for the expression of his structures, the Greek Revival style of architecture. He selected this style first for its close association with America and American traditions. Thomas Tallmadge, one of our foremost authorities on the architectural history of the United States and an architect of unusual talent, refuses to admit the existence of any so-called "purely American style". To a certain extent I agree with him, but I think and believe that the Greek Revival is the closest approach to a truly American style that we can boast. There is no doubt that its motives are all derived from the Acropolis, but the forms of early American structures wherein the Greek Classic detail was applied gave them an appearance that could hardly be called Greek Classic yet endowed them with a character that was typically American. The cathedral of Cincinnati, by the way, is a very good example 39 40 of the Greek Revival; a very beautiful church and one that should be care- fully preserved on account of its historic value and the purity of its design. It is indeed one of the foremost examples of good church architecture in the United States. In addition to Bishop Griffin's desire to have an American church he also gave ear to the practical value of a Classic design in its relation to local climatic conditions. He stressed repeatedly and at great length the necessity of designing the structures to withstand the effects of erosion. Hence the sharp lines and smooth surfaces of the buildings. The architect was instructed to spare no expense to make the struc- tures serviceable, strong and enduring. Economy was to be practiced with due regard for sturdiness but nothing essential to the practibility and usefulness of the buildings was to be omitted. The Greek Revival lends itself well to sturdiness, utility and a limitation of cost. The Bishop entered into a cooperative spirit with the architect during the preparation of the drawings in an unusually energetic and enthusiastic manner and in March of 1927 the designs were offered to the contractors for proposals. While the contractors were bidding, an extensive study was made by Bishop Griffin and the writer of color in buildings. Many prom- inent structures in the country were visited and after returning home and reviewing these in retrospect it was decided to build the group in Mankato stone. This stone is essentially a marble. It is quarried in Mankato, Min- nesota and is a very hard and close grained building stone. The color is variegated from cream to light yellow and on account of its hardness it takes carving well and holds it. It has proven particularly beautiful in these buildings at Springfield. In May of 1927 the contract for the group was awarded to the Math. Rauen Company of Chicago. How well they performed their work is evidenced in the structures themselves. The principal building of the group is the Cathedral. On the north it is joined to the Rectory and on the south it is connected to the Convent and the Parochial School. Four buildings forming a group similar in archi- tectural treatment and joined together for utilitarian purposes. One approaches the Cathedral from a broad plaza flanked by two ornamental flag poles each fifty feet high. The portico is formed by four fluted Doric columns supporting a strong pediment, in the face or tympanum of which is carved the coat-of-arms of the ordinary; on one side of this his consecration and on the other side his installation. This sculpture is the work of Leon Hermant of Chicago, who also modeled the heroic figures of Peter and Paul in the interior of the Cathedral. Above the main body of the cathedral the bell tower abruptly arises and is surmounted by a gilded 41 cross which glows at night through the aid of the modern Neon tubes. The bell tower on its lower stage houses the clock and its mechanism; in the upper stage or belfry, there is a chime of eleven bells operated auto' matically by the clock and manually from a keyboard at the organ desk. Entrance to this church is through three broad doors framed in delicate Greek detail, to a large Narthex or vestibule. The vestibule is lined with Vert Corail Claire, a marble of rich coloring and strong figuring. At the left is the Baptistery lined with Botticino marble and on the right is a retiring room for the convenience of the congregation. Through the red leather doors one enters the church proper. It is a basilican church, the clerestory or upper part carried on rows of graceful Siena columns in the Greek Ionic style. These columns form two side aisles; in the walls of which are the modern pictorial windows which are described in detail on another page. In these aisles are two shrines set aside for devc tion to particular saints. Above the Rose Tavernelle wainscot are set the mosaic Stations of the Cross executed of minute pieces and imported from Venice. At either extremity of these aisles are niches of Black and Gold marble enshrining marble statues of favored saints which stand against delicate Siena backgrounds. Over the entire room is a deeply coffered and highly ornamented ceiling, decorated in gold and blue panels. The Apse or west end of the room is set aside for the large sanctuary. The high altar of innumerable colored and foreign marbles stands against a reredos of Black and Gold into which has been set a mosaic picture of the Immaculate Conception after Murillo. Gold inlay and bronze termini embellish the rich marble frame. The side altars are companion pieces of the main altar. The altars and sanctuary furnishings are further described and at length by the makers in another part of this book. Considerable attention and study has been given to the comfort of the congregation of this church. A complete system of acoustical treat' ment has been installed by the Burgess Laboratories of Chicago, which tends to absorb all reverbation and cause a speaker to be clearly heard in all parts of the auditorium. The church is equipped with all the apparatus for radio-broadcasting. Electric oscillating fans are set on the walls sur- rounding the congregation and the sanctuary is elevated to a height where all seated can have a full view of the usual elaborate ceremonies incident to a church of this character. The Rectory on the north side of the cathedral is a house built to serve three purposes; a diocesan Chancery Office; a residence for the clergy attached to the cathedral and the Bishop's Palace. The ground floor of this structure which is set back from Sixth Street to better present the Cathedral, is devoted to the Chancery office and 42 contains amongst other conveniences, offices of the clergy and the laity occupied with the general affairs of the diocese. The general safety deposit vault also located on this floor is large enough and so equipped to provide space for safekeeping of all diocesan and parochial papers and archives. The first and second floors provide reception rooms, offices, refectory and sleeping rooms for the Rector of the Cathedral and his clerical as- sistants together with accommodations for the domestic help. The top or third floor is used solely for the residence, or to use the European term, the Palace of the Bishop. He has here his study and sleeping apartments, his state dining room, his private chapel (one of the prerogatives of a Bishop) and rooms for a guest and the Bishop's chaplain. The house is severe both externally and internally, except the state rooms which have been adorned in keeping with the rank and importance of the principal occupant, the Ordinary of the Diocese. • The small building immediately south of the cathedral and connected to it is the convent erected to house the fifteen Dominican Sisters who conduct the parochial school. This house like the rectory is set back in the yard. This was done to better emphasize the dominating architectural importance of the cathedral and insure good light for it as well as for the Convent and the parochial school. The convent expresses the general character of the group on the exterior. The interior, however, is divided into simple sleeping, office and community rooms on the two floors. The basement containing the refectory, kitchen, laundry and storage rooms. Connected to the convent on the south is the cathedral Parish Pa- rochial school, a two story and basement structure, designed in conformity with the group and arranged for six hundred pupils in twelve large light class rooms. The basement is devoted to the large hall, sixty feet wide and eighty feet long. Offices for the Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, the School prin- cipal, retiring and rest rooms for teachers and pupils are among the re- maining space allotments in this building. At the rear of and connected to the Parochial school is the Central Power Plant which supplies all the buildings with light, heat and water. This is a modern labor saving power unit designed to produce the full requisite of heat and light at the minimum of cost. In conclusion it may be said that the Springfield Cathedral has been 43 an earnest effort on the part of the Bishop to provide complete, novel, comfortable and practical accommodations in good taste for a diocese of this size and at the same time keep the cost of these improvements within a reasonable limit of cost. The total cost of the group complete will not exceed $1,500,000.00. joe w. McCarthy PERPETUITY AND BEAUTY OF NEW CATHEDRAL GUARANTEED BY MANKATO STONE Granite, quarried from outcrops in different sections of Minnesota, is, according to Geologists, classed as of the Archaean age, or the first hardening of the molten mass of which the earth originally consisted, and next in age is the Cambrian period or the period of invertibrates and it was in this period that the stone now quarried at Mankato was formed. That was countless centuries ago. Many layers of rock and sandstone were formed on top of it. Some of this was later eroded away. For long periods the mass was under the sea and later as the great central plane of the United States was pushed up and the sea receded, it was again brought above water. The tremendous pressure exerted on it and the untold time since its formation, have contributed to harden and crystalize the stone as we have it today. The early settlers in Southern Minnesota selected the outcropping stone for the foundations of their buildings and some built their homes with stone; many of these are still to be found in this vicinity. Before the age of concrete, the railroads depended on Mankato Stone for their material with which to build bridges, culverts and retaining walls. The great strength of this stone and its resistance to weathering and erosion made it an admirable material for their purpose. One good example of this is the bridge built at Blair, Nebraska, over the Missouri River. Here the original piers and abutments, built of Mankato Stone, after forty years of resistance to the stresses of railroad traffic and the erosion of the river and elements, were O.K'd for a heavier steel superstructure, necessary to withstand the heavier engines and loads of the present day railroad traffic. Another interesting example of Mankato Stone is the historic stone arch bridge over the Mississippi River at Minneapolis used by the Great Northern Railroad, built in 1882. As more efficient tools and methods of milling the stone were invented, its use went more and more into building projects. Due to its hardness and 44 the expense of cutting the stone, its use has been confined to the better buildings. There are many fine examples of its use in many parts of the United States and among these are the Museum of Art at Philadelphia, the skyscraper at Number 2 Park Avenue, New York City, the Links Club, New York City, the Eagles Club at Milwaukee, the Union Trust Building at Detroit, the Burtha Fisher Home for Aged at Detroit, the wonderful Cathedral Group at Springfield, Illinois, as well as many educa- tional and institutional buildings in Minnesota and elsewhere. Mankato, for exterior construction is a distinctive stone in that its original color is permanent; age tending to beautify rather than dull the beauty of the stone. The most interesting and soft warm colors of the stone with its various shades and textures has won a place for it also as an interior decorat' ing material. Among the many installations in important buildings might be mentioned, the Cathedral of St. Paul, St. Paul, Minnesota, the Basilica of St. Mary at Minneapolis, House of Retreats Chapel, St. Louis Missouri, the Library at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, the Tower of Harkness Memorial Quadrangle at Yale University, the corridors of the Standard Oil Building, Wall Street, New York City, and the Baker Building at Minneapolis. This stone is what is known to the trade as a Dolomite, which is in effect a marble. Several Universities have analyzed its component parts and all are unanimous in proclaiming its durability. The hall in the new Centennial Building which forms part of the State House Group seen in Springfield, is adorned with this stone. Many of those, who have seen it in the interior of the Cen tenia 1 Building, have been, and are, generous in their praise of it, and are very happy to see our Cathedral with its allied buildings constructed of this colorful, durable, beautiful stone. The T. R. Coughlan Company, Mankato, Minnesota, producers of Mankato Stone have large and well equipped quarries and are in position to supply the trade promptly on all projects. 45 SAINT IGNATIUS, THE MARTYR, ABOUT TO DIE FOR CHRIST 46 WINDOW STORY OF THE SPRINGFIELD CATHEDRAL The unusual beauty of the interior of the Springfield Cathedral de- signed by Joe W. McCarthy, Architect, is effectively revealed by the softly diffused light which streams through the luminous Mosaic windows. These windows were designed and made in America by Americans and of American material. They were made by a process originated by Mr. Thomas A. O'Shaughnessy of the O'Shaughnessy, Kugal Studios, Chicago, 111. The windows are made as Mosaics of finely cut translucent glass. This translucent glass is akin to the translucent glass known to the ancients. This glass is made in America, American chemists having rediscovered the secret of making translucent glass. The so-called "Antique" glass used in the European method of making church windows is a transparent colored glass which came into use about the fifth century, commonly called the "Dark Ages," and before the method of making translucent glass was re-discovered. To kill the glare of "Antique" glass a coat of darkening mineral paint is scumbled over the surface of the glass. On this coating of color, applied with a gum-like binder, the details of the figures and decorative design are stenciled or painted — the pieces of glass being left large. By firing the glass, the mineral paints applied are made to adhere more firmly to the glass. The windows made of "Antique" painted glass kill about 80% of the light, thus darkening the interior of the church and rendering artificial lighting absolutely necessary for day time services. Artificial lighting spoils the architectural beauty of the interior and is, as a rule, quite distracting during services. To render the pictures and decorative design in the Springfield Cathedral windows plain the glass is cut quite fine and the windows are true Mosaics. Dr. James J. Walsh, author of "The Thirteenth, the Greatest of all Centuries," has described this type of window as "Joyously Luminous." The Cathedral windows carry the story of the development of Catholicism throughout the ages from the days of Christ to the present 47 SAINT BRIDE ENLIGHTENING EUROPE AND THE WORLD 48 era. They record Christian activities in the Holy Land, in Europe and in America. The windows on the North, or Epistle side of the Cathedral portray scenes from the life of Christ and from the lives of early Christian Mis- sionaries in Europe. On the South, or Gospel side, the windows tell the Catholic origin and development of pre-revolutionary America. They tell of Catholic Services m every crisis of the Nation's life — material services, spiritual services, vital services. The first window in the North wall, Epistle side, shows our Divine Lord giving to Saint Peter, First Pope, the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Saint Paul is shown in the background, while in the extreme background a little stone church, typical of the time, is shown upon a rocky prominence. Faintly a cross is shown spanning the entire reach of sky. The second window shows Saint Ignatius, the martyr, in the Roman Arena about to lay down his life in defense of Christ's teachings. The lions in a wild attitude are anticipating their prey and send a shudder down the ages and through our bosom as we gaze on this lovely, dramatic window. The theme of the third window is Pope Leo the First, known as Leo the Great, who reigned from 440 to 461. When Altila, King of the Huns, entered Rome at the head of his barbaric army, or horder of savages, de- termined to destroy the city, Pope Leo, the Great, met him outside the walls of Rome and so impressed that Mongul that he called off his savages. Thus did Pope Leo save not only Rome, but European civilization, Christian culture, law and order. The fourth window depicts Saint Bride sealed in her study illuminating a Missal or Mass Book. An Angel stands beside her guiding her hand as she works. History tells us that when in the fifth century, the Pagan Roman Empire crashed and the "Dark Ages" fell upon England and Con- tinental Europe, Saint Bride became the custodian of the deposit of culture, art, music and learning in Ireland, the only nation in Europe which returned and fostered Christian civilization. It was from out of Ireland's Universities (30 in number), over which Saint Bride presided that during those "Dark Ages" learned missionaries went forth to rebuild the civilization of Europe — to restore law and order — to rebuild the nations. The next, in this series of windows, shows Saint Columbonus of Ireland who built the first enduring school in Continental Europe at Bobbio in what is now Northern Italy, in the year of Our Lord 613. 49 GEORGE WASHINGTON SENDS BISHOP CARROLL TO CANADA 50 This famous seat of learning continued as a center of Christian culture and civilization until looted by Napoleon a thousand years after its establish' ment by the Irish Saint. In the sixth window we see a small group of Irish missionaries at the court of Charlemagne of France in the ninth century having gone there at the request of Charlemagne to preach and teach. History informs us that this great leader, founder of France, was so anxious to learn from his Irish teachers that when he awoke during the night he would practice and work out the lesson given to him the preceding day. The seventh and last window on this side shows the great John Sobieski kneeling on the field of battle thanking God for his victory over the barbarian horder who had threatened to bring a second "Dark Ages" in Europe. Sobieski is justly regarded as one of the great heroes of history and so this window memorializes another of the many contributions made by Catholics towards the preservation of Christian civilization. The motif of the windows on the South wall of the Cathedral is the Church's contribution towards America, and the development of Cathc licism on this Western continent. The first window on the South wall shows Saint Brendan who in the fifth century fired with love for God and zeal for souls, crossed the Atlantic and brought Christianity to the natives of this Western Hemis- phere. This beautiful window depicts Saint Brendan teaching the savage natives. In the second window the landing of Columbus is depicted. Note with the Santa Maria, Flagship of Columbus. The luxuriant vegetation that made such an impression on Columbus is shown in this window. In the third window we see the intrepid Father Marquette established at Chicago in the winter of 1674 on his return to preach to the Indians of the Middle West. Father Marquette was in frail health, nevertheless he came in fulfillment of a promise he had made to the Illinois Indians on a previous occasion to return to them. According to his journal he arrived at Chicago December 4th, 1674. "Chi-ca^gou 11 was the Indian name for Chicago. Father Marquette spent eight days approximately where Wrigley building now stands, and during his sojourn there he celebrated the first Holy Mass ever offered within the present limits of Chicago on December Eighth, Feast of the Immaculate Conception after which the Springfield Cathedral is named 254 years later. On December 12th, 1674 he moved "two leagues 11 (six miles) up the 51 PRESIDENT LINCOLN SENDS ARCHBISHOP JOHN HUGHES TO FRANCE 52 "Chi-ca-gou 11 river to the "Portage Mound 11 where he spent the winter of 1674-5. This Mound was on the north bank of the river where Robey Street now crosses this river. In the spring of 1675 the rising river threatened to flood the Mound camp so Father Marquette and his companions took refuge in their canoes and went fourteen miles west to what is now known as Summit, Illinois. On Dec. 4, 1924, the 250th anniversary of the coming of Marquette was celebrated as Chicagos 1 250th birthday. That celebration was ar- ranged by Thomas A. O'Shaughnessy, the artist of these windows. President Coolidge, being in Chicago at the time, delivered an address in which he told how the intrepid Jesuit priest, Father Marquette, had conquered the heart of the American wilderness, built the vast Jesuit Empire of "New France 11 which embraced the great Mississippi Valley. This friendly "New France 11 was one of the deciding factors in the great Revolutionary War when the American Colonies threw off England's yoke. On the pylon at the east side of the north abutment of Michigan Boulevard Bridge in the group of life-sized figures, portraying the pioneers of Illinois, Father Marquette is shown in his priestly robes in the center of the group. On the wall of that same bridge abutment adjoining this pylon a bronze tablet in low relief shows Father Marquette on the mission in Illinois. The next window represents George Washington giving to Bishop Carroll, brother of Charles Carrollton, signer of the Declaration of In- dependence, a commission to go to Canada to hold the Catholic French Canadian friendly to America during its battle with England for In- dependence. The angel of peace is shown in the background. The character- istic features with the kindly expression of the Father of Our Country are well depicted as he interviews the Father of the American Hierarchy and entrusts to him a commission that meant so much to the then future United States of America. The next window shows our Martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, interviewing the great Archbishop John Hughes of New York at the beginning of the Civil War, and giving him a Commission to the Court of Emperor Napoleon the Third of France to enduce his Majesty to hold France and other European Nations from following the hostile action of England which had recognized and aided the Southern Confederacy. Archbishop Hughes as Envoy extraordinary to France was quite successful in negotiating a friendly attitude of the part of Catholic France. 53 The next window depicts the departure of Illinois troops from the State Capital for the front during the "World War". In the foreground a Catholic Chaplain is seen blessing the troops. In the background the State Capitol building is shown silhouetted against a drab sky. Above the dome of the Capitol is a Gold Star. Faintly, like a vision in the sky, the crucifixion is shown. In the seventh window of this series the poster of the Eucharistic Congress at Chicago is reproduced. In the foreground the Holy Father is shown giving blessing to Cardinal Bonzano, the Apostolic Legate, and to Cardinal Mundeline, sponsor of the greatest religious demonstration ever held on the American Continent. Above the Shrine of Saint Patrick this Saint is shown presenting to the King of Ireland his credentials as Papal Envoy in the year 432 A.D. The result of that mission of Saint Patrick is evidenced in the faith and loyal' ty of the Irish people who have made such valuable contributions to Catholicism in these United States. Above the Shrine of Saint Therese this Saint is shown amid a bower of roses. On the occasion of our Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lisieux, France, the home of this modern Saint, our Bishop interviewed the sister of the Little Flower, and during that interview, he stated: "America holds your sister in very high honor". The sister of the Little Flower answered: "Saint Therese always loved, and frequently talked about America. I know she prays in heaven for the great and generous American people". In the Baptistry, Saint John the Baptist, is shown baptising Our Divine Lord. This window depicts the Scriptural account of the first Baptism before it was instituted as a Sacrament. The theme is not only appropriate, but is the usual and traditional picture for the baptismal font in a Catholic Church. A unique feature of these windows, made in America of American glass, by a process originated by an American, is that they are not "leaded" windows, as are the church windows of the old school. These windows are built with copper and tin as the metal binders of the countless bits of colored glass which make the mosaic pictures. The result of using copper is to make the windows much stronger so that they hold the plane and do not warp or sag as leaded windows do. Another unique feature of these windows is that at night the windows appear as mosaic panels showing the pictures and ornament in full color and detail. T. A. O'SHAUGHNESSY 54 LIGHTING THE NEW CATHEDRAL In lighting the new Cathedral, the Bishop of Springfield, took a keen personal interest. He felt that for a building of such carefully studied character and meticulous detail nothing but the best in design and in material should be used. Bronze was selected as the metal. It is everlasting and the ruddy gold harmonizes excellently with the colors used in the decoration of the interior, and the marble of the altar. The task of execution was awarded to the C. G. Everson Company of Chicago, who have earned a well'deserved reputation for ecclesiastical work of this character. In ornament and form each piece was to harmonize with the style of the building, the Neo-Hellenic of the time of Abraham Lincoln. The outstanding feature of the cultural life of America at that time was a returning to the Greek sources of inspiration. The Classic style influenced not only monumental architecture but also small dwellings and objects of art. Enough of the latter remain to give one a real idea of the phases of Hellenic art that appealed to the designers of the mid-century. A study of some of these pieces gave to Mr. McCarthy and the fixture designer the necessary basis to proceed upon. The general form, the style and the material having been decided it was next necessary to prepare small sketches, which after much discussion and correction, were enlarged to full size working drawings. These after approval by the architect were put in the hands of the sculptors and pattern makers, who made models of all ornament in clay or in plaster paris. After another examination and criticism by the mind in charge of the work, wax and then brass patterns were made, carefully sharpened and chased by hand, and it was from these that the completed fixtures were cast in golden bronze. From the flood of cool light that bathes the portico one steps into the narthex with a pair of classic crested bowls bearing a ring of twelve lights on each. These are flanked by three light wall brackets in the form of a conventionalized acanthus plant. Going through the main doors, one passes beneath minor lights in the ceiling, executed in cast bronze, and emerges into the nave of the church where are suspended the main ceiling lights. 55 56 These are great open dishes of gold bronze, latticed and reticulated in an intricate pattern and burnished to a subdued brilliance. Surrounding the rim are studded thirty-six lights, set in an ornamental cove and surmounted by a honeysuckle and scroll cresting. To add brilliance and emphasize the richness of design a cluster of six lights is set inside the ornament, bringing the intertwined branches of the acanthus into strong silhouette. The dish is suspended by chains dividing in pairs and joined by ornamental clevises up to a light-studded corona, supplying additional illumination from twelve more bulbs to the clerestory and ceiling. Corresponding in style and finish with the great chandeliers are large and elaborate wall brackets, each made in the form of an interlaced acanthus and bearing shields embossed with sacred symbols, surmounted by the Ship and Rainbow, the emblem of the Cathedral. Every sconce supports five candles, and at the base is placed a lamp supplying illumination from a separate emergency circuit, and also lighting the Stations of the Cross. Attention should be called here to the Sanctuary Lamps, also cast in bronze, chased and engraved by an artist in metal and then heavily plated in twenty'four carat gold. In the Baptistry, the Choir Gallery, the Side Vestibules and other portions of the Cathedral will be found other chandeliers all characterized by the same carefully studied detail and massiveness of conception as found in the fixtures already noted. The efforts of the architect, Mr. McCarthy, and of the manufacturers, C. G. Everson & Co., were bent to one common end — to express the sacred character of the edifice and the all enduring permanence of the Church in beautifully formed objects of eternal bronze, carefully and skilfully wrought. + IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CATHEDRAL DECORATING The decorative treatment of the Cathedral interior is carried out in perfect accord with its Architectural features and serves as a beautiful background for its altars and furnishings. The main ceiling is decorated in Gold leaf, offset with panels of blue and the crosses in the ornamental plaster soffits of the beams are brought out in white with blue background. The walls are treated in a two tone effect blending harmoniously with 57 the Sienna colors in the columns and the various emblems and symbols are brought out in accentuating colors of blue, white and silver leaf. On the upper front walls may be seen the Coat of Arms of Our Holy Father the Pope, His Lordship the Bishop of Springfield, together with the Great Seal of the United States of America and the State Seal of Illinois. The Shrines on either side of the Auditorium, also the Narthex and Baptistry, are decorated in complete harmony with the Auditorium. The entire color scheme is a symphony that contrasts beautifully with the marble altars with their gold crestmgs and gleaming mosaics, the art glass windows and the furniture. It would be very hard, in fact almost impossible, even for the most experienced and talented writer or orator to write or speak of an interior more beautiful and more in complete harmony than the interior of this Cathedral. Those of us that are spending all of our time and energy in the ever- lasting endeavor to accomplish the completed results such as we have in the edifice feel fully compensated and are proud to be able to realize that we have had our part in helping to create and follow through to completion the final touches on this wonderful building. MOSAIC STATIONS, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CATHEDRAL Among the many attractive furnishings of Immaculate Conception Cathedral, the Stations of the Cross with their colorful beauty appear to stand out as scintillating gems in a rich setting. Made of mosaic and executed in Venice, Italy, with all that splendid technique and skill that makes the best Venetian Mosaic so popular, these stations are indeed a pleasing addition to an already beautiful interior. Pictorial Venetian Mosaics are made up of thousands of small pieces of colored and gold glasses fired in a process which insures for all time the permanence of their original sparkling hues. By means of gold backgrounds, sharp outlines and faultless blending of colors in figures and scenes, Stations of the Cross executed in mosaic present tableaus that are exceedingly vivid and striking in their beauty and realism. The fine examples in the Stations of Immaculate Conception Cathedral possess to the highest degree the richness charac' teristic of masterful execution in work of this kind. They are so well com- posed, the presentation of the scenes so perfect, each picture is a sermon 58 and the acknowledge that the work is practically indestructible and hence everlasting adds to one's appreciation of their value. It is only fitting that exquisite specimens of mosaic such as these should have been chosen in harmony with the splendor of the Cathedral as a whole. These mosaics are the work of Daprato Statuary Company Studios, Chicago, New York, Pietrasanta, Italy. PEWS OF THE CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Pews are an indispensable appointment in present day churches, particularly in our own country. The great St. Peter's in Rome has no such equipment, nor have the churches in Latin countries, generally. Little is said about pews in church chronology although in ancient times a "podium", an elevated place or seat in balcony in amphitheatre, such as the Coliseum in Rome, was provided for distinguished personages. This is probably the origin of the word "pew". Later we find a fixed seat in a church, enclosed and separated from other persons and still later, in old English we find that seats were placed in elevation, for lawyers in court and in the exchanges for moneylenders. The space for these were usually in a square or parallelogram. In places of worship, congregations sat on the floor or stood. Some use was made of a "crutch", which was made of a staff with a cross piece forming the letter T; this contrivance provided some rest in the kneeling position. "Pues" appeared in England before the sixteenth century and became more common about the year 1540 but only in certain places in churches. Transcepts or the wider areas across the church were occupied by pews, but the nave or main body of churches were clear. Evidence of this system is found tO'day in the rural districts of northern Europe. Our own country therefore, stands alone probably, in the matter of utilizing all free space to provide comfort for congregations, unquestionably, comfort is conducive to devotion, distraction is minimized. In keeping with other appurtenances in this edifice, Mr. J. W. Mc' Carthy, Architect, designed a commensurately beautiful pew, the lines of which typify the general architecture throughout. The Greek border and carvings are characteristic as is the symmetry of the pew end. The element of comfort for worshippers is amply provided for in Mr. McCarthy's design, abundant room for the standing, kneeling and sitting positions as well as restful sitting comfort. The selection of red oak, plain sawn and flat grained insures durability and sturdiness. Fortunately, the 59 Feuerborn Mfg. Co. of Effingham, 111., had a good stock of high grade ma- terial on hand for this work. The lumber in these pews was hewn about three years previously and was thoroughly seasoned by natural processes. The color of finish selected by Mr. McCarthy truly harmonizes and blends in with the whole and produce a delightful color scheme. The sanctuary furniture, prie-dieus, Sedelia or priests' bench and throne for His Lordship, the Rt. Rev. Bishop of Springfield, when offi- ciating, were likewise manufactured and built to Mr. McCarthy's design. The general architecture here is again preponderant and typical, carvings on the Throne cornice and Sedelia being gilded to blend well with the architect's personally selected draperies and carpeting. Mandel Bros, of Chicago, furnished these draperies of richness becoming to a Sanctuary in a great Cathedral. J. A. BATEMAN MARBLE WONDERS IN NEW CATHEDRAL The Cathedral that is distinguished because of exceptional archi' tectural beauty is unusual but when its artistic composition has been realized to its fullest possibilities and the architect responsible has mastered his subject so thoroughly as to convey all its aspects such an edifice may readily be regarded as an outstanding achievement. No recent undertaking gives greater evidence of this fact than Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Springfield, just completed under the plans and supervision of Architect Joe W. McCarthy of Chicago. In the inspiring edifice executed in the style of the Greek Revival will be seen the fruition of exhaustive study of the Classic Greek to the demands of modern structure and design. Like the Grecian Doric Temple it is characterized by massiveness of parts gracefully formed, delicately enriched and arranged with propriety and skill. Entering through a magnificent portico made up of heavy tapering fluted columns and surmounted by a classic pediment one is thrilled with the even more impressive grandeur of the Cathedral interior. Three altars of unmistakable artistic excellence give attractive dominance to an at- mosphere of true religious beauty. It is a surprise of inspiring designs, pleas- ing color contrasts and massed marble made brilliant with gold ornament. The predominating tone of the altars is that of a dark marble with gold enrichment while standing at either side are seen angels and statues, sculptures of exquisite beauty, dazzling white. 60 The main altar is shaped like a pylon with a pyramidal, gable shaped top or crown surmounted by a bright gold bronze cross and ornamented on each side with mythological Griffins also of gold. It forms an immense frame, as it were, to display with greatest possible prominence a most beautiful mosaic picture portraying Murillo's Immaculate Conception. The entire mass of marble used in the execution of the background of this altar is of Portoro, otherwise known as "Black and Gold Marble". This is a marble procured at Porto Venere, near the mouth of the Gulf of Spezia in Italy and is made up of a ground of rusty black with spots of light brown. The veining is unusually beautiful and ranges from white through every shade of yellow to dark brown. On this gorgeous black background almost severe in the absence of sculptured ornament are seen twin borders of meander designs in rich gold glass mosaics splendidly relieving what might otherwise prove a monotony of color. Inside these borders appears in fiery gold an elaborate floral motif forming the immediate frame for the mosaic picture. It is pointed out that the gold glass mosaic ornament dis- played on this altar is of a type which involves the very highest ingenuity of the artist as it is not of the ordinary variety which reveals mosaic orna- ment on a mosaic background, its distinctive features lying in the fact that the marble must first be incised with the desired design and the mosaic then most painstakingly inlaid. Contrasting colored marbles form the composition of the approach to the altar, the altar table and tabernacle. The steps and treads leading to the altar are of Belgian Black Marble. The Greek Doric columns beneath the mensa as well as the tabernacle with its richly ornamented gold doors are of Rosa Breche Marble in attractive coral tints which form an effective contrast with the background. Other marbles used in the enrichment are Rosso Levanto, Verde Antique, Giallo Siena and Red Verona, the latter forming the stiles and rails which act as frames for the mosaic symbols in the antependium. Red Verona is a beau- tifully marked red marble from the hills north of Verona, Italy, immortalized by Shakespeare in his story of Romeo and Juliet. It is the marble used in the columns of the Palace of the Doges at Venice and it was extensively used at St. Mark's. A considerable amount of symbolism is expressed in various details of the altar. Conspicuously displayed on the Main Altar above the mosaic picture of Murillo's Immaculate Conception are the words — MACULA NON EST IN TE in brilliant gold glass mosaic. In the antependium there are nine mosaic panels each of symbolic design. The symbol of The Two Fishes representing Christ, The Rose of the Messianic Promise, The Star of the Epiphany, The Sun of Righteousness, The Fountain of Salvation, etc., are among the symbolisms portrayed in colorful mosaic. 61 THE WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL MAIN ALTER AND THE MOSAIC PICTURE OF OUR IMMACULATE MOTHER 62 The side altars are rectangular in form wrought of Black and Gold Marble surmounted by an elaborate gold bronze cresting of floral design of classical motifs. Their richness is enhanced by striking and colorful mosaic pictures representing the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Gospel side of the Cathedral and St. Joseph and Child on the Epistle side. The three mosaic pictures displayed in the three altars give evidence of rare crafts- manship and an infinite amount of patience in execution. Aside from their distinctly superior artistic style these pictures reveal thousands of separate pieces of mosaic of all colors most carefully blended, matched and assembled. Figures in gorgeous colors on gold backgrounds give brilliance and life to the scenes. By means of ingenuously arranged concealed lighting the mosaics may readily be illuminated. Deserving of special mention are the beautiful gold bronzes used on and in connection with the altars. Candle- sticks, crucifixes and tall graceful torcheres, appropriate fitments for the beautiful surroundings suggest craftsmanship in metal that appeals to ones aesthetic sense. Interesting classic lines disclosing designs of pleasing symmetry stamp these bronzes as distinctly unusual but the mechanical expertness of the chasing so richly rendered in the finished details add a touch of perfection which it is a pleasure to behold. A black and gold pulpit of rigidly simple square lines ornamented with gold and surmounted by a golden eagle supporting a bookrest adds beauty to the furnishings of the sanctuary. But enclosing them a railing of solid bronze classic in design and masterful in execution completes a picture that verily contains a multiplicity of artistic attractions. Considered from every point of view these splendid furnishings may indeed be regarded as rare acquisitions. Their distinctive designs and colorful beauty are a credit to the artistic perception of the architect. The exquisitely carved sculptures so effectively outlined in the con- trast of their whiteness with the darker marbles of the altar are particularly interesting. Two angels of immaculate white Carrara, beautifully sym- bolical of prayerful adoration, resting on bases of Rosso Levano Marble stand on each side of the main altar. On the gospel side of the church is a most artistic marble statue of St. James, Greater, patron of the bishop of the diocese while on the epistle side will be seen a similarly beautiful statue of St. Aloysius. Flanking the entrance of the interior are white marble statues of St. Ann and St. Agnes and on each side noble works of art representing St. Anthony and St. Dominic. These statues so resplendent in their faultless execution, so fascinating in the beauty of choice white marble add much to the charm of the interior. The exquisite perfection of the execution evidenced in the marble, bronze and mosaics is due to the resources and artistic facilities of the studios 63 of Daprato Statuary Company of Chicago, New York and Pietrasanta, Italy. This concern also carved the eight statues and angels, all of them sculptures of remarkable artistry. THE HONORABLE JAMES M. GRAHAM HAS SEEN NOTHING COMPARABLE TO OUR NEW CATHEDRAL Very Rev. M. J. Foley, Western Catholic, Quincy, Illinois. My dear Monsignor: I presume you have lost all patience with me. I have been away and a good deal of my time has been taken up answering letters from parties who have received copies of that pamphlet. I went to the Cathedral several times after leaving my office in the evening to take a look at it before writing you only to find the place locked. I went there today at noon. The first impression I get on entering is that the scene is gorgeously beautiful; that it almost has a personality and was extending a welcome to me. It breathes a message of joy and hope and love as if it said: "Come here all ye who labor and are heavy laden and find rest and peace." There seems to be no place in it for a mourners' bench. There is no sign of gloom or sadness. In looking casually over the interior, there was no particular feature that stood out individually. Everything fitted in its place and harmonized with the rest, producing a very pleasing and delightful effect. But if there is one thing that stands out and pleases me more than any other, it is the ceiling. I have never seen so beautiful, so pleasing, so harmonious a ceiling. I have recently visited Cathedrals in Seattle, Portland and San Fran- cisco and prominent churches in other western cities. I looked at their ceilings with the special purpose of comparing them with the ceiling in our Cathedral. None of them affected me as it does. It is in a class of its own, and is, I believe, literally and artistically the crowning glory of a very beautiful church auditorium. I am pleased, I might almost say, tickled, over Bishop Griffin's fine 64 idea in giving us two historical windows — President Washington com- missioning Bishop Carroll and President Lincoln commissioning Archbishop Hughes, on important missions for the Government. Prayer is defined as the raising of the mind and heart to God. When that beautiful building resounds to the harmonious strains of beautiful music, without uttering a word the worshipers will pray, for their minds and hearts cannot refrain from going up to Him Who is the author of all beauty and harmony and joy and peace. I feel sure that when the work is all done, we will have a real religious classic in architecture. Very sincerely yours, JMG:M JAMES W. GRAHAM Springfield, Illinois. THE CATHEDRAL BLOCK IN SPRINGFIELD The Cathedral group easily merits the first medal of excellence from the National Association of Architects as the finest block erected in the United States in the last year. Every one of the four buildings is an archi- tectural gem in itself. Let us take the chief one, the church itself, for a sample for critical inspection. Vitruvius, the architect of the Roman Emperor Augustus, gives in three words the principles, guiding the construction of any edifice : utility, strength and beauty. Utility means adaptation to purpose. The Cathedral was erected to be, in this diocese, the chief residence for God and the spiritual home for every soul. God is infinite. The Bishop, the priests and the laity have striven to put into this home for God their best offering and their total love. Jesus Christ will personally and bodily be a perennial guest. How we all rejoice today and thank God that He has not only shown us how He wishes to be worshipped but that He has allowed us to offer Him this fit temple, in which to worship Him: "I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house and the place where Thy glory dwelled}." This church is also the chief spiritual home of every soul in this diocese. There is no expression in any language that renders adequately the words: "Home, Sweet Home. ,, This Cathedral is every soul's true home. Secondly, Vitruvius requires strength in a building. Whether you look at it from the outside or from the inside, strength seems to be the salient feature of the Cathedral. The massive blocks of Mankato stone are so hard that a thousand years of sun or rain or snow will have but a negli- 65 gible effect upon them. It is this endurance in stone and marble stabilizing the Catholic faith in Springfield that crowns today amid many tears the struggles of the early pioneers for their faith. The three deceased bishops of this diocese saw in the vision of their hopes this lasting Cathedral in Springfield. We can well imagine that the spirits of the two hundred thousand or more Catholics of the last seventy-five years, who have laid them down in their last sleep, hover today amid the great columns of this Cathedral in lowly adoration and fill the air with the perfume of unseen censers to the Divine Master. The solidity of the Cathedral inside and out is patent to the most casual observer. Lastly, Vitruvius demands beauty in a building. Of the five arts: poetry, music, painting, sculpture and architecture, the architect's quest for beauty is the most difficult of achievement, because mere matter and mathematical combination have the fewest resources, expressive of in- spiration. Nevertheless, beauty is an essential recommendation to any work of art. Indeed, beauty is the purpose of all art. Beauty is invisible in itself appealing to the soul and manifesting itself ouwardlty in forms. What is beauty? Beauty is the splendor of truth or that eclat which illumines and holds our intelligence captive. A church to be beautiful must have unity and harmony and express the faith and hopes and loves of its people. As you enter this Cathedral the eye perceives at one glance its unity and harmony. Its total cubic immensity, its high and far reaches, wave on wave of richest gold impress the soul with grave reverence for the Majesty of God, with admiration and adoration of His Infinite Being, the source of all truth and beauty. All honor and gratitude to Bishop Griffin who has spoken in this Cathedral group in deeds, so usefully, so solidly and so beautifully. JAMES HOWARD St. Agnes Church, Springfield 66 IN THE VESTIBULE OF NEW CATHEDRAL Right Reverend Bishop Griffin seems to have overlooked nothing when building his magnificent Cathedral. As you enter the Vestibule the first object that meets your gaze is an artistic bronze plaque to your right as you enter the Cathedral proper. On that plaque you read the following: 18534928 Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. This Cathedral was Dedicated in October 1928, by The Rt. Rev. James A.
